What decorating really costs in Scalloway — and how to get your fixed quote.
See prices guideMasonry and Render Painting in Scalloway — FAQs.
How long does masonry paint last?
Quality breathable masonry paint on properly prepped walls typically lasts 10–15 years. Exposure, substrate and prep quality all matter — we'll give you a realistic figure for your property.
Can you paint pebbledash?
Yes — pebbledash drinks paint (it can need twice the coverage of smooth render), which is why some quotes look suspiciously cheap. Ours are honest about the material it really takes.
My render is cracked — can you still paint it?
Cracks get routed and filled with flexible exterior filler first; blown sections are patched. Painting over cracks without repair just prints them through the new coat — we don't do that.
Are you insured to work in Scalloway?
Yes — every job in Scalloway is carried out by decorators with public liability insurance. Need documentation for a landlord, agent or building manager? Just ask and we'll provide it.
How soon can you start in Scalloway?
Smaller Scalloway jobs can often start within the week; larger projects are usually booked one to three weeks out. Tell us your dates and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Can I book an evening or weekend slot in Scalloway?
Yes — we work 7 days a week, and out-of-hours slots are standard for Scalloway businesses and busy households alike.
